Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1913
The root of the conflict between the United States and the League of Nations is that the United States did not join the League of Nations.

As mentioned above, a large part of the reason why the United States did not join the League of Nations was because the United States was unwilling to accept the leadership of Britain and France, so it dissociated itself from the League of Nations.

Over the years, the League of Nations has never given up on the United States, otherwise the League of Nations would not have retained the permanent seat for the United States.

Britain is now taking the initiative to mediate the differences between the United States and the League of Nations, because it does not want to see the expansion of southern Africa's influence in the League of Nations.

Now that the UK is no longer able to guarantee leadership over the League of Nations, it is more in the interests of the UK to introduce the United States to form a check and balance on southern Africa.

Looking at it this way, we can understand why the UK is so active.

Joining the League of Nations has both advantages and disadvantages for the United States. The advantage is that after joining the League of Nations, the United States can obtain the treatment of a member of the League of Nations, and its products can smoothly enter the markets of the members of the League of Nations.

This is of course based on the premise that American goods must follow the customs regulations of other countries and pay due taxes.

The disadvantage is naturally that the United States is a member of the League of Nations. When the League of Nations decides to impose sanctions on a certain country, the United States must abide by the provisions of the League of Nations. This will have a certain impact on trade between the United States, Germany, and Japan.

In fact, it is mainly Japan.

In terms of attitudes towards Germany, the League of Nations is relatively tolerant. Only France has a firmer attitude towards Germany. Other major countries such as southern Africa, the United Kingdom, and Russia have more ambiguous attitudes towards Germany.

Japan's main opponent in the League of Nations is Southern Africa.

Compared with France, southern Africa still has a relatively large influence on the League of Nations. After Japan began its military expansion in the Far East, southern Africa insisted on imposing strict trade sanctions on Japan. The Indian Ocean Fleet even blocked the Strait of Malacca for a time, prohibiting all Japanese ships from passing through Strait of Malacca, including merchant ships.

Considering the attitude of southern Africa, the attitude of European countries towards Japan has gradually turned cold, which has also led to Japan's foreign trade, mainly through the United States. If the United States agrees to impose trade sanctions on Japan, then Japan's military expansion will definitely cause serious damage. influences.

As mentioned earlier, more than 80.00% of the steel Japan needs to build warships is imported from the United States. Japan’s oil is almost [-]% dependent on the United States, and almost all other rare metals are imported from the United States, as long as the United States agrees to trade with Japan. Sanctions, then Japan's ambitious and huge shipbuilding plan will become a castle in the air.

"So if we join the League of Nations, our trade with Germany and Japan will definitely be affected. So what compensation can the League of Nations give us in these respects?" The United States still attaches great importance to the mediation of the United Kingdom. After London sent a signal, Secretary of State Cordell He Er arrived in London for the first time.

"Isn't it enough to use the domestic markets of all League of Nations member states as compensation?" Neville personally launched a campaign. In order to seduce the profit-seeking Americans, Neville was even ready to cut his flesh.

"Does it also include the Commonwealth market?" Cordell Hull's eyes lit up. The United States has always wanted to open the Commonwealth market, but unfortunately it has not been able to do so.

In fact, compared with the previous Commonwealth market, the current Commonwealth market is also plummeting in value to the United States.

Mostly Southern Africa.

The Commonwealth that owns Southern Africa and the Commonwealth that loses Southern Africa are completely different things. Except for Southern Africa and the United Kingdom, other Commonwealth countries such as India have a large population but cannot form an effective market. In fact, they are tasteless.

After seceding from the Commonwealth, southern Africa and the United States reached a series of trade agreements, but after the League of Nations decided to impose sanctions on the United States, these trade agreements were temporarily put on hold until the sanctions were lifted.

"Of course, not only the Commonwealth of Nations, but also the overseas territories of France—" Neville wants everyone to die together, and the British Empire cannot all suffer.

"Then we're going to talk about tariffs again." Cordell Hull was suspicious, worried about being duped.

The opening of the market is also divided into degrees. Don't listen to Neville's good words. If the Commonwealth opens its market to American goods and at the same time sets a higher tariff rate, then American goods will lose competitiveness even if they enter the Commonwealth market.

"Hehe, the United Kingdom doesn't bother to do that at all!" Neville sneered, using tariffs to protect the domestic market, which was originally the United States' forte.

What Americans are best at is using tariffs to create a trade surplus. As early as the last century when American goods competed with British goods, the United States used higher tariffs and export tax rebates to support American companies to compete with British companies. gain the upper hand.

Compared with the United States, the European continent can barely be regarded as a whole. Although there are various disputes within Europe, there are still relatively few restrictions on trade.

Compared with the United States, which shouts "free trade" every day, Europe is closer to the true meaning of free trade.

"No, no, your Excellency, when it comes to national interests, we should try our best to form a textual resolution, which is better." Cordell Hull didn't blush, no matter what matter involved national interests, no matter how much he broke his promise shame.

However, it is not that simple to form a textual resolution, and there are many countries involved, so everyone needs to sit down and talk slowly.

The ongoing civil war in Brazil couldn't wait. After breaking through the first line of defense of the government army, the Michigan Army broke through the second line of defense of the government army in one go, and then the Michigan Army encountered the US Marine Corps.

The Americans were indeed arrogant and unreasonable in Brazil. In the face of the menacing Mizhou Army, a telegram from the U.S. government put the Mizhou Army into a dilemma.

"That's the fact. The Americans asked us to temporarily stop the offensive and give the United States time to evacuate the diaspora. The exact time for the truce is undecided. It depends on the speed at which the United States evacuates the diaspora—" Vargas looked ugly, and the Michigan Army broke through the government forces. After the second line of defense, it is less than 30 kilometers away from downtown Rio de Janeiro.

At a distance of [-] kilometers, the roar of heavy artillery was already clearly audible. Not to mention the Americans in Rio de Janeiro, even the Brazilians were fleeing in a hurry, trying to avoid the flames of war.

The purpose of the Americans is very simple, using the evacuation of overseas Chinese as an excuse to buy more time for the government forces.

"What if it takes a year for the Americans to evacuate their overseas Chinese?" Augusto didn't expect the Americans to be so shameless.

"Then we have to wait for a year." Fan Bao looked at Vargas with a smile. Now Vargas's choice is very important.

If the Michigan Army wants to take down Rio in one go, then Vargas must have the courage to turn against the Americans.

In this way, the US government would become Vargas' enemy, but Vargas could strengthen the friendship of southern Africa.

If you don't break your face with the Americans, then I am afraid that the capture of Rio will be far away.

Even if the Americans do not participate in the war, the Rio military government can use this period of time to mobilize troops and build a new line of defense. Next, the pressure on the Michigan Army will increase.

Vargas did not speak, and he is now in a dilemma.

There are too many pro-American forces in Brazil. After Vargas defeated the Rio military government, unless he established a personal poisonous rule, he still had to unite with pro-American forces in Brazil to form a coalition government.

In case of breaking up with the United States, the pressure on Mizhou will suddenly increase. Even the Holy State, which has a good relationship with Mizhou, will inevitably be under tremendous pressure from the United States. If it is not done well, Mizhou will truly become lonely. .

But if you don't turn your face, you will give the Rio military government time to breathe. For the Michigan Army, it will become more and more dangerous as time goes by.

Victoria, the main external channel of Mizhou, is currently under attack by the government army. It can be said that the foreign aid of the Mizhou Army has basically been cut off. Now the logistics of the Mizhou Army is still sufficient. This is mainly due to the crazy purchases in the early stage. Mizhou itself has no blood. Functional, even weapons and ammunition cannot be produced. If the time is too long and Victoria cannot break the blockade of the government army, the longer the time is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be for the Michigan Army.

Thinking of this, Vargas finally made up his mind.

"We can set aside a week for the Americans. After a week, the Michigan Army will launch a full-scale attack on Rio de Janeiro." Even at this time, Vargas did not completely tear himself apart from the Americans.

August and Fan Bao looked at each other, both of them were disappointed.

But it's not bad, as long as the United States enters the war, Vargas will inevitably fall to southern Africa.

Just when the United States brazenly intervened in the front line of Rio, in Victoria Harbour, the government army gradually gained the upper hand by virtue of its military strength. The Michigan National Guard had retreated into Victoria for defense, and the government army completely surrounded Victoria by virtue of its naval superiority.

However, it is not easy for the government army to destroy the Victoria Army. After days of bloody battles, there are still nearly 4000 meters of state troops in Victoria. They use their favorable terrain to engage in brutal street battles with the government troops. They will not give up any street or house easily. .

The advantage of the terrain was used to the extreme by the Mizhou Army. Victoria is a port with a relatively complete drainage system, so the sewers are also fully utilized by the Mizhou Army. The small elite troops of the Mizhou Army often use Victoria’s sewers to attack the government forces from the rear. The sneak attack, coupled with the tenacious sniping of the government army, has caused nearly 2 government troops to die and wound up to now.

You must know that before the outbreak of the war, Victoria's Michigan Army had only about 5000 people.

Now the battle loss ratio between the Mizhou army and the government army has reached nearly [-]:[-], so the battle has progressed to this extent, and the government army has been exhausted.

But I still have to grit my teeth and fight on. Now it depends on who can't hold on first. As long as this breath dissipates, all previous efforts will be wasted.
